Lac de Tolla
A mountain reservoir in the Prunelli River valley, its waters reflecting chestnut woods and mountain villages. Kayaking and other water activities are on offer.
Lac de Tolla is a man-made lake created in the 1960s when a dam was built across the Prunelli River. It is surrounded by chestnut forests and granite peaks, and the village of Tolla overlooks the water. In summer, visitors can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards or try the floating water park. Lakeside restaurants serve traditional Corsican home cooking. The drive from Ajaccio along the D3 takes about 40 minutes and passes the Prunelli Gorge viewpoint. Pay attention to the signs marking areas of the lake where swimming is prohibited.
